You're never too old to join in the fun. A 99-year-old woman helped Bismarck, North Dakota, recapture a snow-angel-making world record.

Step 1: Pick a spot
Pick a clear spot in the snow as tall as your body and as wide as your outstretched arms.

Tip
Fresh powder works best—make a snow angel right after a storm, when the snow is untouched.

Step 2: Fall backward
Carefully fall backward onto the snow with your arms outstretched.

Step 3: Move your arms and legs
Move your arms and legs back and forth, like you’re doing jumping jacks.

Step 4: Press your head
Press your head back enough to make a clear indentation.

Step 5: Get up
Get up carefully so you don’t wreck your masterpiece. For best results, have a friend help you up.
